One of the better cozies I‘ve read this year. A mom and daughter escape their messy life to a rural cabin in Washington state. Mom needs to write her next book and daughter needs to heal from the trauma of being abandoned by her Dad. Unfortunately there is murder. And Bigfoot. #ThematicCozies

I finished this book a few weeks ago, and just thinking about it now still makes me smile. I loved this book so much. It was just such a joyful adventure about building family and finding yourself.

mcctrish I put off reading this for ages because I‘d read some poor reviews or negative vibes. Then I couldn‘t stand it because I was intrigued and just bought a copy, I loved it and I‘ve been saving the next one forever - I think it‘s going to be a fall read 1d

CoffeeK8 @mcctrish same. I‘m putting off the next one until I need a comfort read too! 16h

Finished this one on the plane yesterday for #ThematicCozies September #Books This bookish cozy had been in my TBR for ages & I love the author‘s gardening & bird-related series, so it‘s no wonder I enjoyed this one. Set in Bath, the MC, Haley, curates a library foundation dedicated to the Golden Age of Mysteries even though her literary preferences & studies were not about mysteries. When the leader of a group of ⬇️

DebinHawaii … Agatha Christie fan fiction writers turns up dead in the library room, she‘s on the case to solve it. I liked Hayley (divorced mom with a college-age daughter) & found the mystery pretty good (it kept me guessing) & all the references to mysteries & other books are fun. I‘ll read the next book. Also, the foundation‘s tortie cat named Bunter is adorable.🐈💛 Thanks to my #AuthorAMonth reading of Dorthy L Sayers, I knew the name.😉 (edited) 2d

Hiss and Hers: An Agatha Raisin Mystery | M. C. Beaton

My wife and I love to listen to Agatha Raisin on a road trip and this book didn‘t disappoint 😊 So, quick question: how do you pick a speed for an audiobook? I tend to listen at 1.25, 1.5, 1.75, and 2, depending upon the material, the reader, the gaps, etc. I suppose my average pace is 1.5. Anyway, just curious what others do 🤷‍♀️

BkClubCare I begin at 1.5 and see if too fast/slow and adjust accordingly. Jeremy Renner is a fast talker (my latest audiobook) so 1.3 was perfect. My current is going well with 1.4. 😊 (edited) 2d

Pedrocamacho Sounds familiar, @BkClubCare. I start at 1.5 too and then adjust if needed. I guess I hadn‘t imagined Renner as a fast talker 😂 2d

NatalieR Depends on the narrator‘s pace, but most often I listen at 1.25 speed. 13h

Pedrocamacho Yeah, @NatalieR, sounds about right. Lots of stuff is best at 1.25. Honestly, I can‘t usually tell much a difference in the reader‘s voice at that speed 12h

NatalieR @Pedrocamacho Me either, which works for me. If the narrator‘s pace is slow, then I increase the speed. 4h

Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop: The heart-warming Korean sensation | Hwang Bo-reum

so-so

A bit philosophical, preachy at times, simple, slow and light - description “healing fiction” suits :) The book had good thoughts about about work-life balance. But it seemed plotless, monotonous and dragged-out.

Shady Hollow | Juneau Black

Think I‘ve entered my cozy mystery era right in time for fall. Both books were fun and easy to relax and immerse yourself into. Shady Hollow had a slower pace and less threat to the main character, so a little more cozier vibe. Definitely going to finish both series
